||Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on Linking in Calc in LibreOffice Calc.  

||In this tutorial we will learn the following:  

||How to reference other sheets in Calc.  

||Here we are using Ubuntu Linux version 10.04 as our operating system and LibreOffice Suite version 3.3.4.  

||LibreOffice Calc allows you to reference  

||00:033

||A cell from another sheet to a cell in the current sheet  

||A cell from another spread sheet  

If you have saved both the spreadsheets.  

||The sheet 1 of our file contains the spreadsheet for “Personal Finance Tracker”.  

||Now, let us find the sum total of the components under “Cost” and  

 

“Spent” respectively.  

||Click on the cell referenced as C9 and enter the formula “is equal to SUM” and within braces “C3 colon C7”.

||Then press the “Enter” key.  

||Click on the cell referenced as D9 and using the same formula find the total.  

||Now, we will display the total balance under “Cost” and “Spent” on a different sheet using cell referencing.  

||This opens the new sheet.  

||Now click on the cell referenced as A1 and type the heading “COMPONENT” inside it.  

||Click on the cell referenced as B1 and type the heading “BALANCE” inside it.  

||Click on the cell referenced as A3 and type“COSTS” .  

 

Press “Enter”.  

||Below “COSTS”, let’s enter the next component as “SPENT” in the cell referenced A4.  

||Now, click on the empty cell B3.  

||The cells B3 and B4 will have the total balance under the heading “COST” and “SPENT”,

||This will be done by referencing.  

||To make the cell reference in cell B3, click on the “equal to” sign next to the “Input line”.  

||Now, on the Sheet tab click on “Sheet 1”.  

||In this sheet, we will click on the cell C9 which contains the total under the column “Costs”.  

||Notice, that in the “Input line” the statement “Sheet 1 dot C9”, is displayed.  

||Now click on the check mark next to the “Input line”.  

||Notice, that the grand total of the data under “Costs” in the “Sheet 1” tab is automatically entered into the cell referenced as B3 in the “Sheet 2 “ tab.  

||Similarly,we can enter the grand totals of other components through referencing.  

||Referencing can be very useful to summarise data if there are many sheets, with a lot of data content.  

||Now, let’s learn how to create Hyperlinks in Calc sheets.  

||You can use Hyperlinks to jump  

 

* To a different location within a spreadsheet  

 

* To different files or  

 

* Even to web sites.  

||In “Personal-Finance-Tracker.ods”  

the personal finance tracker is in “Sheet 1” and the rest of the content is in “Sheet 2”.  

||Let’s say we want to jump from Sheet 1 to Sheet 2.  

||Here let’s click on the cell referenced as B14 and enter ”Sheet 2”.  

||You see that the name “Sheet 2” is displayed on the “Input line”.  

||Now select the text “Sheet 2” in the Input Line.  

||After selecting the text, click on the “Hyperlink” icon in the toolbar.  

||The Hyperlink dialog box appears.  

||On the left side, let’s select the “Document” option.  

||Click on the “Target in document” icon in the dialog box.  

||A new “Target in document” dialog box appears.  

||Now, click on the “plus sign” next to the “Sheet” option.  

||In the dialog box which appears, click on the “Sheet 2” option.  

||Now click on the “Apply” button and then click on the “Close” button.  

||Now, from the Hyperlink dialog box, click on “Apply” and then click on “Close”.  

||Now, when we click on the text “Sheet 2”, it directly takes us to the sheet where we had entered the balance for Costs.  

||Now right click and from the context menu, click on the “Default Formatting” option.  

||The the text is no longer hyperlinked.  

||Let us undo the changes.  

||This brings us to the end of the Spoken Tutorial on LibreOffice Calc.  

||To summarize, we learned how to:
